Key Features:

• Using a user-supplied configuration, xml2csv reads input XML files and creates output CSV files.
• Processes multiple XML files that match user-specified filters.
• Create many CSV files from a single set of XML files based on 1..n relationships between XML nodes and their descendants.
• Built as a standalone Jar file with no dependencies other than the Oracle Java 1.6 JRE or later, for easy deployment.
• Inline, multi-value mappings, allowing for a variable number of values for a single record.
• Pivot Mapping allow CSV structure to be determined by the contents of XML files.
• Paid support available from Locima Ltd.
• Scalable to as many XML input documents as you need. Only one XML document needs to be held in memory at one time.
• Use via a command line interface or integrated in to your own applications.
• Source code licensed under the Microsoft Public License (MS-PL), so you can exploit with confidence!
• Fully commented source code so you can understand and extend easily.
